Invu plc

Facility agreement

Invu plc (LSE, AIM: INVU) ('the Company') announces that it has entered into an agreement with Tyne & Wear Holdings Limited ('Tyne & Wear') pursuant to which Tyne & Wear has agreed to provide a term loan facility to the Company of up to £0.5 million (the 'Facility'). The interest rate under the Facility is calculated based on a margin over 3 month LIBOR (with an initial rate of 12.5%) and may reduce in certain circumstances. The Facility is repayable on or before 31 December 2010. The Board is considering options to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and will provide an update in due course. 

Tyne & Wear is a substantial shareholder of the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies ('AIM Rules') and, as such, is a related party of the Company. In addition, Tyne & Wear is ultimately wholly-owned by a discretionary trust, the potential beneficiaries of which include Cynthia Goldman, the mother of Daniel Goldman, the non-executive Chairman of the Company. Given the potential conflict of interest arising from this relationship, Mr. Goldman has not participated in the negotiation or approval by the directors of the Facility.

The entering into of the Facility with Tyne & Wear is classified as a transaction with a related party for the purposes of the AIM Rules. In accordance with the AIM Rules, the directors of the Company, with the exclusion of Daniel Goldman, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Arbuthnot Securities Limited, consider that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
